We Were Liars follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed the Liars, during their summer escapades on her grandfather’s New England private island. The Sinclairs are American royalty – known for their good looks, old money, and enviable bond – but after a mysterious accident changes Cadence’s life forever, everyone, including her beloved Liars, seems to have something to hide.

The cast includes Emily Alyn Lind (Gossip Girl, Doctor Sleep) as Cadence Sinclair Eastman, Shubham Maheshwari (Ms. Marvel) as Gat Patil, Esther McGregor (The Lesson) as Mirren Sinclair Sheffield, and Joseph Zada (The Blacklist) as Johnny Sinclair Dennis; alongside Caitlin FitzGerald (Succession) as Penny Sinclair, Mamie Gummer (True Detective, The Good Wife) as Carrie Sinclair, Candice King (The Vampire Diaries) as Bess Sinclair, Rahul Kohli (The Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass) as Ed Patil, and David Morse (The Green Mile, The Hurt Locker) as Harris Sinclair.

The original young adult novel, on which the show is based, has sold nearly 3 million copies worldwide and has spent many weeks on the New York Times best-seller list since its release, including several at No. 1. The novel is published by Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books.

The series is written and executive produced by co-showrunners Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, Legacies) and Carina Adly MacKenzie (Roswell, New Mexico, The Originals). Also executive producing are Emily Cummins (The Endgame, Vampire Academy) for My So-Called Company, Brett Matthews (Legacies), Pascal Verschooris (The Vampire Diaries), and the novel’s author, E.
